that it is essencially the formula of Yoga or medita-

[Note: 'Yoga' means the process of being yoked with the
god Siva, or Shiva, i.e., IAO, Bel, or "Jah", the sun
god. The KJV Bible contains the term 'jah ' 101 times;
in contrast, the Catholic DR version contains the
string 'jah ' zero times, not once, although the text
string 'jah' without a space following the three letter
characters does occur in the DR 27 times in names such
as Jahelel; 'jah' occurs in the KJV 203 times.]

'Jehovah' | 7 | 0
IAO, the god of the O.T.O., is claimed to be the Greek
form of Jah, or Yah; 'j' in 'Jah' is pronounced as 'y'
according to Mackey's Lexicon of Freemasonry, where 6
pages of text are devoted to explaining 'Jehovah', the
word 'Jah ' is shorthand for Jehovah: "Jah. The Syriac
name of God. It was also used by the Hebrews as an
abbreviation of Jehovah, and seems to have been well
known to the Gentile nations as the triliteral name of
God; for, although biliteral among the Hebrews, it
assumed among Greeks the triliteral form, as AIΩ.
Macroius, in his Saturnalia, says that this was the
sacred name of the Supreme Diety, and the Clarian
Oracle being asked which of the gods was Jao, replied,
'The initiated are bound to conceal the mysterious
secrets. Learn thou that AIΩ is the Great God..."
In the occult, 'AIΩ' is suggestive in meaning to 'IAO'
because the 'O' letter signifies the Ourobouros, which
is the "the Alpha and Omega", as explained by Clymer,
a Freemason, in his book "The Mysteries of Osiris or
Ancient Egptian Initiation", p. 137: "The letter 'I',
or rather the erect - upstanding pillar- creative,
denoting the wisdom and strength that stands alone and
is self-existing. The letter 'A', is a pyramid or
mountain of strength. The 'O' is the serpent with its
tail in its mouth", i.e., "the Alpha and Omega."

The Eye Is Watching
by Joe Sansone, USA Daily, 11/30/2002

"In J.R.R. Tolkien's fantastic work
of fiction The Lord of the Rings,
the dark lord Sauron, not yet able to
maintain a physical form, attempting
to dominate middle earth, is depicted
as an evil eye. Able to penetrate time,
space, and the human mind, the evil
force sought to dominate 'Middle Earth'.

In a bizarre and frightening case of
life imitating art, the United States
defense department has created an office
that seeks those same limitless powers
as Tolkien's dark lord. The Information
Awareness Office (IAO) seeks what it calls
'Total Informatoin Awareness'. The agency
even adopted the new world symbol of the
pyramid with the all knowing eye hovering
above it....

Any reasonable American citizen, with
the exception of pure left wing totalitarians
, must find a visit to the IAO website
chilling. It is like something out of a
sci-fi horror movie, only, it is real...."
